Brodieshill

If you’ve got a toddler who’s obsessed with animals, Brodieshill is genuinely one of the better days out near Forres. The staff are actually lovely — not just going through the motions — and the kids get proper hands-on time with the animals, feeding them and holding baby chicks rather than just looking through a fence. There’s a mud kitchen outside that little ones absolutely lose their minds over, and the whole place is enclosed so you’re not constantly chasing a runner across a field. The water feature adds another layer of entertainment when the weather cooperates, and there are toilets on site which, honestly, makes or breaks a trip with under-fives.
